I think that there are several TTs priced lower than the Linn that are
"respectable".
Absolutely. The Pro-jects come to mind, as well as some offerings from
Rega (among others).
In modern houses, the changers pulled from old consoles are as good
or better than suspensionless tables.
You need suspension, preferably three point.
AR got it right which is why Ivor copied them. As Jobs and Jef Raskin
copied Xerox PARC and Symbolics: theirs worked. The economics were
reversed. AR underpriced and underbuilt their tables, whereas Xerox
and Symbolics overbuilt and grossly overpriced theirs. Ivor and Jobs
"rightpriced" and "rightbuilt" in a market sense, though surely the
LP12 could be cloned for a third or less Linn's MSRP. And with a
better bearing.
